Often, the main reason for Burmese cats’ fur loss is their low tendency to shed, which makes the breed popular among allergy sufferers and people who prefer a tidy home.However, some owners may still ask breeders: why is my cat losing fur? Apart from seasonal shedding, there are several potential reasons. Let’s explore them:
Cheap food, lack of balance in the diet, and saving on protein products lead to a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, making the Burmese cat feel unwell.Use nutritious food. Choose premium or super-premium class feeds. It’s essential to use vitamin complexes and cat grass.
Check your pet for symptoms such as:
Itching, redness of the skin
Nasal discharge, ear infections
Diarrhea, vomiting
These may be signs of an allergy to food, parasites, or various substances in the environment. Determining the cause of the reaction on your own is impossible. Show your Burmese cat to a veterinarian who will prescribe the correct treatment.
If, in addition to shedding, the fur has become dry, brittle, and lost its shine, there may be thyroid issues. Causes can include stress or the postpartum period (for female cats).Consult a veterinarian. They will recommend medications to restore the hormonal balance of the Burmese cat and prevent hair loss.
